An offer of flowers instead

General Nguyen Ngoc Loan offers a Viet Cong prisoner flowers instead of death.

The original photograph by Eddie Adams on behalf of AP can be seen here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nguyen.jpg

I found this piece of street art on the student residence wall, Senghennydd Road, Cardiff in Wales. It has since been painted white.

A great antithesis to such an infamous photo. Making something beautiful out of something that was so ugly. Great find!

Sad news. But guess this is limited viewing of classy powerful artwork. Who was the artist? Was it eye or eyeD?

Walt Jabsco says:

I think it's eye, if it's the same artist as this piece on the same street

Thanks very much for capturing this before it was vandalised back to a plain wall.

Would be great on a tee-shirt. On a billboard. Sprayed onto every plain flat surface on the planet.

Or.. just once.. seen in real life.

Beautiful picture. Still shivering from the message. maybe showing the surroundings might have made it more dramatic? I don't know what is around it. compliments the the artist of the actual stencil. love the color focusing on the flowers. was that photoshopped or actually like that?
